Albert “Al” Reyes

Al Reyes serves as the division chief of communications and media services for the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department, the largest locally administered child support agency in the country. His long record of working for diversity and community service in government and the media began with a career in television journalism in Fresno, CA in 1971, as the first on-air Latino anchor, reporter and documentary producer at KFSN-TV. This led to a thirty-year career working as a reporter, writer and producer for television and radio stations in California, PBS and nationally, during which Reyes was involved in ground breaking reporting on the Latino community. He has also served as executive director of the California Chicano News Media Association, formerly based at the USC School of Journalism, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the largest professional association of Hispanics in science and engineering.
